Description

The City of Columbia is seeking statements of qualifications from contractors for five service categories: small-area grounds maintenance, large-area grounds maintenance, tree removal, turf restoration, and debris removal. Work may include mowing, edging, trimming, weed and pest control, fertilization, landscaping, tree and stump removal, emergency storm response, soil restoration, grading, sod or seed installation, hauling, and lawful disposal of vegetative debris. Respondents may submit for multiple categories, but must provide separate, category-specific statements of qualifications. The City may award separate lots and use contracts for services, indefinite delivery contracts, or purchase orders for individual projects. Responses must address qualifications and experience, technical approach, availability, staffing, project manager experience, workload, and three similar projects completed within the past five years, along with at least three project references. Required supporting materials include the company overview and certification affidavit, litigation and claims history, subcontractor business information, applicable licensing documentation, financial statements, and applicable local-business, mentor-protege, and disadvantaged-business documentation. The solicitation requires a three-year initial term with two additional one-year options and includes a five percent bid bond requirement; payment and performance bonds may be required for individual projects.
